The patch also resolves numerous technical issues and balance tweaks. Detailed patch notes are available via Steam. For visual learners, WolfheartFPS has created an in-depth 20-minute breakdown of the changes.
Following its May release after extensive early access, Tainted Grail has garnered a solid player base, with Steam sales estimates ranging from 520,000 to 645,000 copies. The title maintains an 88% positive rating from users, though Wccftech’s Kai Tatsumoto assigned a 6.5/10 score, citing persistent technical issues:
My fifty-hour journey through Avalon culminated in anticlimactic exploration across cleared zones—a stunning world undermined by performance inconsistencies. With further polishing, this Arthurian reimagining could fulfill its potential as a memorable fantasy RPG experience.
It’s likely that this update addresses many lingering concerns.
